PREFACE 

From Pilgrim days of our Countrv''s birth, stalwart and honorable men by 
the name of HOLMAN have cast their lives and energy into the fabric of 
this great Republic. To-day the Head of the Nation comes of this family, 
through his most noble and gracious mother. 

The South has sent out the name to all of the States of the South and 
West, since the early landings in the beautiful valleys of Virginia at James- 
towTj in 1607. 

The North has spread its character and influence through the name from 
pulpit, bench and honest ploughshare — from Dorchester, Boston, Salem and 
the fertile and lofty " Holman Hill," at "West Newbury, Mass. 

The descendants of the name have passed through every hardship of pioneer 
life — fought in the battles of hostile Indians — shared in the struggles of 
early Colonial days — the strife of the Revolution, when sixty-five young men 
by the name of Holman were on the field from the State of Massachusetts — 
the War of the Secession, with its long list of sons of the name who consci- 
entiously fought on either side — and even on the Battleship Maine, there was 
on active duty at the time of her destruction in the Harbor of Havana, Cuba, 
Lieut. George Frederick Warren Holman. 

The name has gone out to the New States — to the very mountain tops — 
and by the seas, to the ends of the Earth. Out of all the rush of life and its 
thousand calls upon one's time, some may wish to look backward to their 
ancestral home and the beginning of their race in America, and to the place, 
where the very trees bending in the wind, seem to point the way to the last 
resting-place, where lie the bodies of Solaman Holman and his wife Mary 
(Barton) Holman; whose " Beautiful life barques speed on over the rippling 
seas of Eternity."

INTRODUCTION 

The time of the compiler of this volume has been so much occupied during 
the hours of day and evening, that the work of this printed record has been 
done between the hours of half-past two and six o'clock in the morning, with 
the exception of searching the vital statistics of towns and records of wills and 
deeds. 

Great assistance has been rendered by the willing attention of town clerks 
and court ofScials, but more especially by 

ME. TEAXK HOLMAN, of Paris, France. 

ME. H. WILSOX HOLMAIST, of London, England, who is the Historian of 

the English name. 
MR. ALFRED LYMAX HOLMAX, of Chicago, 111., who has prepared the 

line of John Holman, of Dorchester, Mass. 
MR. FRANK NEWTON HOL]\IAN, of Springfield, Mass., who most gener- 
ously offered all of his collection of notes, although he himself was nearly 

ready to publish. 
MISS IDA B. HOL]\IAN, of San Antonio, Texas, who gathered many facts 

of the Virginia family of the name. 
MR. FREDERICK V. HOLMAN, of Portland, Oregon,— himself an author,— 

supplied much material of the North Carolina branch of Thomas Holman, 

of Surrey Co., 1730. 
COL. JAMES HARDY HOLMAN, of Fayettevillo, Tenn., who was authority 

for many of his line. 
MR. WALTER DAVIDSON, a son of Judith Chase Holman,— a member of 

the Antiquarian Society of Worcester, Mass. 
MISS ISABELLE HOLMAN WATERS, of Millbury, Mass., who was much 

interested in the line of her cousin, the President, as a descendant of Col. 

Jonathan Holman, the Revolutionary hero. 
REV. HARVEY ]\IERRILL LAWSON, of Brookfield, Mass.. who gave many 

notes on the descendants of Dea. Thomas Holman, of Sutton, but later 

of Conn. 
MR. EARL ELLSWORTH HOLMAN. of West Alexandria, Ohio, who showed 

great interest in the line of Old George Holman, who was captured by 

Indians. 
MRS. ROSAMOND E. WAITE, of North Jay, Me., for her loyalty to her 

birth name. 
MRS. 0. M. C. HOLMAN, of Newton, Mass., for her interest in the name, 

not hers bv birth. 



xiv Introduction 

MES. AMELIA (DAGGETT) SHEFFIELD, for her most kind words of my 
father and mother. 

MES. lEA HOLMAN, of Leominster, Mass. 

ME. EUGENE and MISS ETTA HOLMAN, of Dixfield, Me. And to many 
others from every section of America, who have spent their time and 
thoughts to have their families correctly placed in this printed volume. 

Lack of courtesy was shown only twice to the compiler of these records, 
while seeking information from persons of the name. Once in New York — 
where time is so vahiable — the interview was timed by the holding of a watch 
in the hand. The other time was in a Massachusetts town, by a prosperous 
manufacturer, when both father and son, with their feet elevated to the top 
of the piazza railing, treated their caller much after the style of a peddler. 
All requests to him by letter for information were always unanswered. But 
in looking up their vital statistics it was found that their father was himself 
registered as a peddler at time of the birth of one of the children. 

Many errors and lack of record must in great part be laid to the careless- 
ness and sometimes indifference of those possessing the same, or able to ob- 
tain it by a little effort. Even now the author will be very grateful to any 
one who will be alile to add any date of birth, marriage or death or the locat- 
ing of a family left out of this printed edition; or any one who will correct 
any of the nunicrous mistakes found in the following pages. 

This book, only intended as a brief sketch, which some time someone may 
complete and make perfect, will deal with some miscellaneous records, then 
the early accounts of many of the different branches of the Holman family, 
and lastly of Solaman Holman (one tradition says that he was born in Wales), 
who located in 1792-3 on the rich, productive and well-watered farm of 80 
acres on the hilltop at West Newbury, Mass., some seven miles from New- 
buryport. The farm at present comprises G8 acres and is owned by Mr. 
E. F. Southwick. 

A rare source of water lies on the very crown of the hill, a spring, which 
forms a small pool of water, now full of flags and cat-o'-nine tails. 

After three generations all traces of this first family of twelve children 
have left the place of their birth and gone out into the world. The wide lane, 
nearly a mile in length, made as a highway to the church built by our first 
ancestor, has become deserted and filled with the bushes of the Wild Eose, 
which bloom " In memoriam."

ORIGIN OF THE NAME 

An interesting fact is the derivation of the name of Holman. The root 
word is " holme," meaning a ilat meadow land lying between the windings 
of a valley stream, therefore the people who lived in such places were called 
" holmers," or " dwellers in the holmes." One man would be called a 
" holmer or holman," hence Holman. The name Holmes being a contraction 
of it. The old English records show distinctly this origin and change. 

In ancient times on the Scandinavian Peninsula, the word " Holmgang " 
signiiied that two men would go to an island and fight for possession of it 
until one died. Then, the other would live in possession of the land, and was 
a Holmer or Holman. 

Holman may be a contraction of " Holyman," but is more likely to be 
" whole man," — a man of sterling mettle. It must be recollected that in 
medieval English, whole was spelt without the " w," and the commonest form 
of the name in the XIV. and XV. Centuries was Holeman. — Patronimica 
Britannica. 

It has been suggested that the name Holman is of Dutch origin. This is 
borne out by a list of foreigners who settled in London in 1.567-8. It was 
necessary for all foreigners who settled in London and other towns to be 
registered and have permits. The original of this list is at present among the 
Landsdown, M. S. S., Vol. X, No. 63, British Museum. See also proceedings 
of Huguenot Society, Vol. 1, pp. 31-24. Dutch Denizens, — Hendrick Hol- 
man, resident three years; Mary Holman, resident two years.

LIEUT. JAMES HOLMAN, 
THE "BLIND TRAVELLER " 

Lieut. James Holman was born at Exeter. Oct. 15, 1786, and died in 
London, July 28, 1857. He was universally known as the " Blind Traveller." 
He entered the Navy in 1798 and served until 1811 on the Home and North 
American stations. In this year he was invalided in consequence of severe 
rheumatism, induced by hard service, and shortly after was attacked with 
ophthalmia, which deprived him of his sight. 1812-1819, University of Edin- 
burgh, and he then journeyed to every place of note in the world, — two thou- 
sand miles into Siberia. He resided as a Naval Knight at Windsor, and 
here wrote his books. He wrote, " Voyages and Travels, Russia," 2 vols. 
" Through France," 1 vol. "A Voyage Around the World," 1 vol. 

Lear. " Yet you see how the world goes." 

Gloster. " I see it feelingly." 

Lieut. Holman was admitted to the Royal Society in 1826. A letter was 
read March, 1858, from Andrew Holman, Esq., Executor of the late Lieut. 
Holman, F. R. S., K. N., K. W., intimating that gentleman's bequest of his 
Portrait to the Society. 

The Portrait of James Holman, Blind Traveller, painted by G. Chinnery, 
is now at Royal Society, London. Bequeathed by Mr. Holman. 

" James Holman (1786-1857) was the fourth child of a chemist and drug- 
gist of Fore Street, Exeter, where he was born on Oct. 15, 1786. He entered 
the Navy as a first class Volunteer on board the Royal George on Dec. 7, 
1798. From September, 1799, to April, 1805, he served on the Cambrian on 
the Home and American Stations, and subsequently was employed on the 
Lcander and Cleopatra, of which last frigate he was appointed Lieutenant, 
Apr. 27, 1807. From Oct., 1808, to Nov., 1808, when invalided, he served 
on board the Gnerriere, stationed on the coast of North America. At 25 he 
became totally blind, and soon after went to Edinburgh to study. On Sept. 
29, 1812, he was appointed a Naval Knight of Windsor, but finding the quie- 
tude of the life there intolerable, he obtained leave of absence to travel. 

" The titles of his books sufficiently indicate the course of his three jour- 
neys ; the fourth and last were made through Spain and Portugal, Wallachia, 
Woldaver, Montenegro, Syria and Turkey. While occupied in preparing 
the Journals of this journey for the press, he died at his lodging near the 



Lieut. James Holman, the " Blind Tr-vveller " xix 

Minories, London, on July 38, 1857, leaving his Manuscripts to a literary 
friend who had assisted him in the compilation of his former works. These 
Manuscripts still remain unpublished. Holman was a man of remarkable 
energy and perseverance, of cool intrepidity and restless curiosity. Though in 
London he was always attended by a servant, he was accustomed to go about 
without one abroad, travelling generally alone and trusting to his own sagacity 
and the sympathy of others. A portrait of him by George Chinnery belongs to 
the Eoyal Society (of which he was a fellow). There is a folio mezzotint of 
him by J. E. Jackson, after J. P. Knight (Evans, Cat. of Portraits), and 
several are prefixed to his books. 

" He was author of : — 

" (1) Narrative of a journey undertaken in the years 1819, 1820 and 
1831, through France, Italy, Saxony, Switzerland, parts of Germany bor- 
dering on the Ehine, Holland, Netherlands, etc. Lond., 1822. 

" (2) Travels through Eussia, Siberia, Poland, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, 
Hanover, etc., in 1822, 1823, and 1824. While suffering from total blind- 
ness, these works give an account of the author being conducted, a state pris- 
oner, from the eastern parts of Siberia. Lond., 1825, 2 vols. 8vo. 3d edt. 
Lond., 1833. 4th edt. 1834. 

" (3) A voyage round the world, including travels in Asia, Africa, Aus- 
tralasia, America, etc., from 1827 to 1832. Lond., 1834-5. 4 vols. 8vo. 

" (4) Travels in Madeira. Sierra Leone, Teneriffe, St. Jago, Cape Coast, 
Prince's Island, etc. Edit. Lond., 1840, 8vo, portr. 

" This is a reprint of the first volume of the ' Voyage Bound the World,' 
with a new title page." — From Did. Nat. Biography, pp. 182-3, Volume 
No. 37. 

(P. 87.) "At the English Consul's I met a blind traveler, a Mr. Holman, 
who has been over Siberia, New Holland, and other remote regions, for the 
most part alone, and written some seven volumes of his travels. Traveling, 
he told me, was a passion with him. He could not sit at home. I walked 
home with him through the streets, admiring his indomitable energy. I saw 
him the next morning sitting on his mule, with the guide he had hired, — his 
strong frame, his manly English face, his gray beard and mustaches, and his 
sightless eyeballs gave him a noble appearance in the crowd of wondering 
Sicilians about him." — From Francis Parkmaii, by Henry DwigJit Sedgwick.

TAPESTEY (DECEMBEE, 1698), BY LADY HOLMAN 

Altar Tapestry, with twelve figures 4-6x3, worked by Lady Anastatia 
Howard Holman, is now in the church vestry at Weston Favell, Northamp- 
ton. Anastatia was the daughter of Sir Wm. Howard, K. G., who was judi- 
cially murdered in Tower Hall, 1670. Her daughter. Ann, married her first 
cousin, the second Earl of Stafford. Anastatia died 1716. She was the 
wife of George Holman of Banbury, Oxford, son of Philip of Hertford 
Castle, M. P., who died 1669, and grandson of George, Knighted 1606. 

There is a brass tablet in Godstone Church, Surrey, put up by Eobert 
Holman, M. P. for Surrey, to the memory of his father, George, the builder 
of Pendhill Court in 1694. The crest is an ostrich head out of a cap of main-

His Will 

To my wife, Jane, interest of all my money in public funds and stocks for 
life, my household goods, stock of pictures, to become her sole property and 
gift at decease. 

To my sister, Sarah Lucas, wife of William Lucas, or to her children, to 
be equally divided amongst them, if she shall be dead at the time of my wife's 
decease, one moiety or quarter part of the money I shall leave in stock at 
my decease. I give the same at the decease of my wife to Mary Richardson, 
wife of James Eichardson, of St. George's, Middlesex, and daughter of my 
late sister, Ann Quince, or to her children, to be equally divided if she shall 
be dead at the decease of my wife. To Francis Holman, my nephew, and son 
to my brother, John Holman, of Eamsgate, mariner, or his children, if he 
have any at the time of my wife's death, if he is dead and no children, to be 
divided amongst the legatees in proportion that are then alive, one moiety 
after my wife's death. One moiety to my niece, Sarah Quince, daughter of 
my sister Ann Holman, wife of William Quince, mariner, of St. George's, 
Middlesex, and sister to Mary Eichardson (the said Sarah Quince I believe 
to be living in some part of America), which if she is at the decease of my 
wife or any of her children shall make their claim good within five years 
after the decease of my wife, but if the said Sarah is now or shall be dead at 
that time it shall become theirs to be equally divided, but if no such claim be 
made within five years of my wife's decease one-half of the moiety that I 
leave to Sarah Quince shall become the property of her sister, Mary Eich- 
ardson, and her heirs, and the other half to become the property of my nephew, 
John Quince, and in case he be not living to become the property of my 
sister, Sarah Lucas, or her children. I appoint my wife my sole executrix.

His Paintings 

Prancis Ilolnian, 1760-1790, of Cornish family, was a Marine painter, and 
resided among the seafaring folk in Shadwell and Wapping. There he 
painted several pictures of shipping, storms, sea-fight, etc., that have met 
with unmerited neglect. Prom the Catalogue of the Pree Society of Artists, 
it appears that from 1767 to 1769 he resided at Bell Dock, Wapping, and 
Broad Street, St. George's, Middlesex, after that date.

most complete modern edition of the Bible, called the " Holman New Self- 
Pronouncing Sunday-School Teachers' Bible." Containing the Old and New 
Testaments; translated out of the original tongues; and with the former trans- 
lations diligently compared and revised. Conformable to the edition of 1611, 
commonly known as the authorized or King James version. The text of 
the Old and New Testaments interspersed witli eighty fine full-page photo-

Mrs. Thomas Holman, of South Carolina, was in correspondence with the 
author by letter, dictated to her grandson, when she was 106 years of age. She 
died at the age of 108 years. 

One of the young ladies of the Holman family became the fiancee of Signer 
" Marconi." So great was the attraction and personal charm of this member 
of our kindred, that it was said of her, that no one could be in her company 
without being thereby made better. It was, however, thought best to termi- 
nate the engagement. Her father was a man of brilliant attainments and 
endowed with all that would make a future full of great promise. Just at 
the height of his splendid career a fatal illness began to slowly develop, which 
demanded the greatest and most tender care of those about him, as well as 
the sympathy and love of a charming home. But the shadows deepened, the 
days grew darker, and the night came on, and a genial spirit went out into 
the World Unknown. 

The Vital Eecords of Newbury, Mass., commence: 

"A Eecord of Marriages for the Town of Newbury, began March 6, 1718-

" Love here unbounded. Lives and Reigns, 
Ah! Happy Nymphs, thrice Happy Swains, 
Whose yielding hearts, as well as hands, 
Sweetly unite in Marriage Bands."

GRAVE TOPICS FOUND IN CEJNIETERIES 

Eemarkable sentiments are sometimes found in epitaphs on tombstones. 
The following inscription is found in the graveyard at Eehoboth Village on 
the tombstone of Deacon Ephraim Bliss, who died 1786, Eehoboth, Mass. : 

" The greedy worms devour my skin. 
And gnaw my wasting flesh, 
When God shall build these bones again, 
He clothes them all afresh." 

This is found in another old country church yard: 

" Here I lie, and no wonder I'm dead, 
For the wheel of a wagon went over my head." 

This is from Schenectady, New York : 

" He got a fish bone in his throat, 
And then he sang an angel note." 

" Here lies the body of Obediah Wilkinson, and Euth, his wife. Their 
warfare is accomplished." 

A dealer in monuments was both shocked and surprised at this request : 
" Please put on the stone,—' To my husband, in an appropriate place.' " 

This is rather an unkind hint: 

" Here lies the body of Sarah Sexton, 
Who never did aught to vex one, 
(Not like the woman under the next stone.)" 

Ohio furnishes the following: 

" Under this sod, and under these trees, 
Lies the body of Solomon Pease, 
He's not in this hole, but only his pod, 
He shelled out his soul and went up to God." 



yvY Grave Topics Pound in Cemeteries 

Mr. Church, a resident of an old village in New England, many years after 
the death of his fourth wife, learned that the cemetery was to be removed. 
In this process, the graves and headstones became mixed by mistake. There- 
fore he decided to erect one new stone for them all. The following inscrip- 
tion was placed thereon : 

" STRANGER, PAUSE AND DROP A TEAR, 
FOR EMILY CHURCH LIES BURIED HERE : 
MIXED IN SOME PERPLEXING MANNER, 
WITH MARY, MATILDA, AND PROBABLY HANNAH."

Christian Science 

Mrs. Winifred Holman, of Cambridge, Mass., was the first Christian Sci- 
entist of America, for which she was arrested and imprisoned, with her 
daughter Mary. Wm. Holman, the husband, having died Jan. 8, 1652-3, 
aged fifty-nine years. Their residence was the corner of Garden and Lin- 
nean Streets, where the Botanical Garden now stands. John Gibson lived 
opposite in plain view of the Holman residence. Some root of bitterness 
sprang up between them. Mr. Gibson entered complaint against them as 
■witches and a warrant of peculiar form was issued for their arrest. One 
accusation by which John Gisbon, Sr., tried to have Mrs. Holman and her 
daughter Mary tried as witches, was as follows : " Mr. Gibson's daughter, 
Mrs. Chas. Stearns, had two extraordinary strange fits, which she never had 
the like before. Mary Holman asked her why she did not get some help for 
them, and she answered that she could not tell what to do for she had used 
means by physicians and could have no help ! Then the said Mary said 
that her mother said that if she would put herself into her hands that she 
would undertake to cure her with the blessing of God." 

The form of the arrest was, — " To the Constable of Cambridge — You are 
requested forthwith to apprehend the persons of Widow Holman and her 
daughter, Mary, and immediately bring them before the County Court now 
sitting at Charlestown, to be examined on several accusations presented, on 
suspicion of witchcraft." 

" You are forthwith to bring them away and not suffer them to speak one 
with another after their knowledge of this warrant, and hereof you are not 
to fayle at your peril." 
Dated 21. (4) 1659. Thomas Danforth, E. 

" It will be convenient that you charge some met person to bring away the 



xxxiv Ancehtoes of Other IIolman Lines 

mayd first and then you may acquaint the mother also with tlie warrant 
respecting her also." (Hist. Cambridge, p. 356, Copy of Court Eecord.) 

The IJetorder of the Court, after many long trials, appended the follow- 
ing memorandum : " John Gibson, Jr., acknowledged in Court that, whereas 
he is legally convicted of a slanderous speech concerning Mary Holman, He 
is heartily sorry for his evil thereby committed against God and wrong done 
to the said Mary Holman and her friends, and doth crave forgiveness of the 
said jVlary Holman of the trespass." 

It docs not appear that cither of these persons were ever afterwards dis- 
turbed on suspicion of practising the diabolical art of witchcraft, although 
the mother was said to liave cured children by Scriptural Injunction. Mts. 
Holman is recorded to have died in peace Oct. 16, 1671, aged seventy-four 
3'ears. Her daughter Mary died unmarried in 1673, aged forty-three years. 

There are many descendants from Mrs. Holman's son, Jeremiah. 

The Eev. J. W. Holman, a Descendant of William and Winnifred 

" In Providnece, E. I., May 16, 1873, Eev. J. W. Holman, Pastor of the 
North Stonington Baptist Church, aged sixty-eight years." 

This death closed up an earthly life filled with earnest efforts for the good 
of man, and the glory of God. 

Born in Maine, April 28, 1805. 

In his childhood days, a Christian sister was permitted to mould and 
brighten his unfolding life. She instructed him, and guided him in religious 
truths. 

He left Waterville to begin his ministry on foot to the settlements in the 
wilderness of New Brunswick. Subsequently, he served as Pastor in Phila- 
delphia, Boston, New York, Maine, Franklin, Mass., and North Stonington, 
Conn. 

He was the means of organizing ten churches, and such was his own cath- 
olicity of spirit, that, although he was a firm Baptist, he was sought by and 
served at different intervals, the churches of other denominations, as their 
regular preacher. As a thinker, clearness and originality of strength were 
his predominating characteristics. He took nothing for granted; he looked 
for the foundation. He knew where he stood, and how to keep his footing. 

A.s a student, he was thorough, and left expositions of Divine Truth, 
which deserve public attention. 

He studied medicine, also, and grraduated with full honors as a Fellow of 
the Harvard Medical Society. 

As a father, he was devoted, untiring and self-sacrificing. He tlirew his

From a Letter of Elizabeth (Holeman) Smith, Written in 1SS7 

ily great-grandfather, and a brother, came to this country from England. 

long years before the War of the Eevolution. But I do not know either of 

their given names, neither do I know when or where they landed. Arriving 

hero, the Itrothers separated, and all trace of the other one has since been lost. 



Ancestors of Other Holjian Lines xxxvii 

I do not know how many children my great-grandfather had; only, that one 
of them, William, is my grandfather. Beyond my grandfather, everything is 
vaguely traditional and uncertain. 

My grandfather, William Holeman, was married twice, I think. The last 
wife was Sarah Johnson, a relative of Col. Dick Johnson. They lived in 
Surrey County, Xorth Carolina. Here they reared nine children. 

They were of the better class, living on a farm, the crops being tended by 
slaves. Three of these slaves were " Old Chania," " George," and " Charles." 

David, my father, married Mary, daughter of Samuel and Chloe Welch, 
a grandniece of Daniel Webster. The wedding took place Sept. 27, 1814, 
in North Carolina, and they moved to Ohio on their wedding tour, she driv- 
ing one horse and a two-wheeled gig, and he a wagon loaded with goods, 
which they would need in the new country. After arriving at their destina- 
tion, thev struck up a fire, which was obtained by striking a flint gunlock, 
catching the spark in a bunch of tow. They built their fire by a big log, and 
here they cooked and ate, sleeping in their covered wagon, until he cut down 
trees and built a house, or cabin, in which they lived many years, adding other 
improvements, until he accumulated some wealth. I have often heard him 
tell of the first cow they owned. A neighbor had two cows, and sold one to 
mv father for two dollars, taking a pocket knife, and my mother being an 
expert with a needle, made him an overcoat, thus paying for the cow. Another 
neighbor had two pigs, and my father, wishing to go into the pork business, 
and, of course, having no money to invest, went and helped chop and saw 
and roll logs two days for a pig. Thus they got a start of cattle and hogs. 
My father often said those were sociable times, when everybody were new 
beginners, men exchanged work, as there was no money in the country. Men 
worked for bacon and meal, and women spun and wove all their clotliing, 
making everything at home. 

Father afterwards moved to Prebble County, Ohio (Eaton, the County 
Seat). While living there, my uncle, Samuel Holeman, father's youngest 
brother, moved there from North Carolina. He bought a farm near my 
father. The family rode in an old-fashioned stage coach. I thought it won- 
derfully fine. It was painted all up in such rich colors, yellow and red, with 
great spread eagle on the side, with gold beak and claws. It was indeed 
pretty. It had glass windows in the doors, etc. But after they got there it 
was of no earthly use to them, so Uncle set it down for us children for a 
playhouse, we thinking it grand, and filling it with Rag Dolls and Mud Pies. 

David Holeman moved to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, near Lafayette, 
and while living there some of his cousins from Southern Indiana paid him 
a visit, one of whom, in particular, I remember so well (altho' I was small). 
His name was Euben Holeman. He had been captured by the Indians when 
a boy, and they, to brand him, had plucked all the hair off of a spot on the 
back of his head about as large as a dollar, which, when it grew in again, 
was perfectly white. David Holeman made several visits to his old North 



xxxviii Ancestors of Other Holman Lines 

Carolina home, a distance of nine hundred miles, on horseback. It gener- 
ally took him three -n-eeks to make the trip one way, then three back. He 
always dres.sed well, and rode a fine horse, and made a fine appearance, and 
on one of those occasions he met an encoimter which I will make mention. 
Some place amongst the Moimtains, there suddenly appeared a rough looking 
character before him, dressed only in shirt and trousers, carrying a gun. 
Father, of course, not liking his appearance, yet spoke to him kindly, asking 
him if he had had any luck in hunting. The man answered and said he was 
not hunting but travelling, and if father had no objections they would travel 
together. To this, father, not knowing what else to do, readily assented, yet 
knowing there was a wilderness of more than twelve miles without a single 
inhabitant, which they would be obliged to go through. But father, thinking 
he could in some way get rid of him before reaching the wilderness, which 
was two days' travel before reaching it, allowing him to join him, but 
it was impossible to get rid of him. Father was afraid to get ahead 
of him, and the fellow would not go in advance, so there it was. Father 
would sometimes get him to let him carry the gun, as it was heavy, which the 
fellow would do> and father would unload the gun and ride very fast, but 
somehow the fellow would keep up. Father said he could walk like a deer. 
He asked all manner of questions regarding father's business in the East, 
had he taken cattle, or had he been to collect an estate? All of such ques- 
tions, to which father seemed unconcerned, and answered coolly, said he had 
only been to visit his old widowed mother, for the last time, etc. The tough 
then began to scrutinize the horse, and asked questions about it, etc., all to 
the great discomfort of father. At tlie Tavern (as it was called then), they 
put up, and father thinking perhaps he could dodge him in the morning, 
gave orders to have his horse fed and ready at three o'clock in the morning, 
and it was as ordered, but when ready to start, behold the fellow was ready 
too; ho had been watching. Father now saw he could not evade him, and 
concluded to go back to bed and wait until people began to pass to and fro. 
Well, the fellow went to bed too, and waited until ten o'clock next day. 
Father now was more than nonplussed. He did not know what to do. The 
next night they would cross the wilderness, yet father kept cool all day, talk- 
ing of various things, yet knowing there was only one more " tavern " before 
entering the wilderness. He finally thought of a plan to which the would-be 
murderer readily consented. Father said to him, "As it is early, s\ippose you 
walk on ahead, and stop at the hotel and call for a real good supper and 
horse feed," and they would eat and rest awhile, then they would camp out, 
as it was warm. This exactly suited the fellow, so on he walked cheerfully, 
father watching, and as soon as he was fairly in the house, father said to his 
mare, '* Now, Betty, run for your life," and he always said she understood 
what he said, and seemed to realize the situation and did run for dear life 
sure enough. On they went, as fast as the poor thing could go. Twice he 
thought lie heard the word, " Halt ! Halt ! " but he did not halt, he made no 



Ancestohs of Other Holman Lines xxxix 

reply, but kept on, on, on ! He often said his hair stood on end, and expected 
every moment to be popped over, but after awhile, to his great relief, daylight 
began to dawn and he began to see settlements, he thanking God for liis great 
deliverance. Hotel ahead, here he rested two days. After relating his experi- 
ence of the previous night, they told him it was no uncommon occurrence to 
find men murdered in those woods. 

Our home then was near Lafayette, Indiana. Father afterwards moved to 
Peru, Hlinois, where he lived eighteen years. Then came to Carthage, Mo., 
where he died Nov. 19, 1874. His remains were taken back to the family lot 
in Peru Cemetery, 111.

GEOEGE, OP INDIANA, 
WHO WAS CAPTURED BY THE INDIANS 

George Holman was born in Maryland, Feb. 11, 1763, and when young 
removed with his father to Penn. His mother died when he was a child, and 
his father placed liim under the care of Henry Holman, a brotlier of his 
father. 

When about sixteen years of age, he removed with his uncle, Henry Rue, 
to Kentucky. They were accompanied by a few other emigrants, among 
whom was Edward Holman, Henry's brother-in-law, a member of whose fam- 
ily was Richard Rue, a young man, two years older than George. 

The company settled near the site of the present city of Louisville. In 
Feb., 1781, as a historian dates this event, Irvin Hinton, going to Harrods- 
burg for a load of flour, the young men. Rue and Holman, were sent with 
him as guards for his protection against the hostile Indians. While on their 
way, they were captured by a party of thirteen Indians, led by one Simon 
Girty, a white man, a native of Penn., and carried northward to Wapueca- 
natta, on the Anglaize, where they were compelled to run the gauntlet, and 
barely escaped death. 

Hinton afterwards made his escape, was recaptured, and burned at the 
stake. Rue and Holman were sentenced to similar death, — Holman was se- 
cured by an Indian who adopted him as a son. After an affectionate, mutual 
embrace, Rue was tied to a stake, encircled by dry underbrush. As the fag- 
gots were about to be applied to the dry brush, a young Shawnee sprang into 
the ring, and with a tomahawk, chopped off the cord that bound him to the 
stake, led him out amidst plaudits of some, and threats of others, and adopted 
him as a brother, in place of one he had recently lost. 

These young men were in captivity three and one-half years. Rue, who 
had been the last six months in Detroit, escaped with two other captives. 
After travelling nights, and resting by day for twent}' days, and narrowly 
escaping death by starvation, they safely reached the Ohio River. The In- 
dians who were dissatisfied with Holman's release, succeeded in getting him 
again put on trial, and by a majority of one vote, he was acquitted and again 
rescued from the stake. 

The protracted war having brought great distress upon the Indians, they 
ceased hostilities for a time. 

Holman proposed that if they would send him to Kentucky with a young 
Indian warrior, who knew the way to the Falls of the Ohio, that he would 
apply to a rich uncle for the needed supplies and obtain for them what they

wanted. They assented, and Holmau, with another prisoner and the young 
warrior, left Wapuccanatta. They soon arrived at the river with their guns 
and blanlcets lashed on their backs, and proceeded to Louisville, where Gen. 
Clark was tlien stationed with troops and military stores, where they staid 
all night. 

It was the purpose of Holman to return and become a trader (so savs the 
writer), bnt their friends, learning the oljject of tlieir mission, offered the 
Indians all they wanted to procnre the ransom of the prisoners. A few days 
after his arrival, he met at Edward Holman's, his friend and fellow prisoner, 
Eue, who had arrived three days before. 

Before their captivity, Bwe had been in several campaigns under Gen. Clark. 
After their return, Rue was in two and Holman in one. In 1803, Holman, 
with his friend Eue, and one or two others, came to Whitewater County, 
bought their lands two miles south of the present city of Richmond, and re- 
turned. The next year they came with their families, accompanied by num- 
bers of their Kentuekj- friends. Remote from any settlement, their privations 
and sufferings were probably more severe than any of those who came after 
them. 

Mr. Holman married Elizabeth Fisher in Kentucky. He had twelve chil- 
dren. Mr. Hohnan died , 1854, in Richmond, Ind. 

The mother of Richard Rue was Elizabeth Holman.

point," says the Washington Post. "He said in concluding: — 'No monu- 
ment can be erected to his memory so splendid and enduring as his life's his- 
tory. Always on guard, ever ready for conflict, if there was a flaw in his 
armor, the Jobbers and lobbyists would have found it; but in all the years, 
under point of spear and edge of sword, his character for honesty and patri- 
otism was never even assailed.' 

" ' On the stone which marks his grave in the district that honored itself 
by giving him to the country, should be placed this epitaph : " Plere sleeps 
William S. Holman, the honest, watchful, courageous Congressman, who 
never slept when guarding the national treasury against peculation and 
fraud." ' "

EARLY HOLMANS IN VIRGINL\ 

The earliest records yet found are in 1635. A land grant to Thomas Hol- 
man, of James City County. 

Family tradition (not yet proven by record) dates back to the landing of 
four brothers in 1610 at Jamestown after one years delay by shipwreck on 
the Bermuda Islands, in company with Sir Thomas Gates, a fleet of nine ves- 
sels (with 500 people) having sailed from England in 1607, Newport being 
commander; Sir Thos. Gates was to lie Lieutenant Governor of Virginia. 
When within a few days (about eight) of the shores of Virginia, they were 
caught in the tail of a hurricane and Tlic Sea Venture with the rulers was 
separated Irom the rest of the company and finally landed on the Bermudas. 
(Eef. John Esten Cook's "Virginia" in "American Commonwealth.") 

James Holman of Goochland County was a member of the House of Bur- 
gesses, beginning with a land grant Feb. 18, 1722. 

His brother, Henrj' Holman, was in the same County in 1739. His Will 
was probated Aug. 19, 1740. His wife was named Mourning. They had 
children, (1) William, (2) Sarah, b , 1739. 

James was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, 1736 to 1740. 
(Eef. "' Colonial ' Va.," by Stanard.) Paid two tithables in 1835. 
(Eef. "Wm. and Mary College Quarterly," Vol. 8.) Granted State Land 
patents 1722 to 1746—2841 acres in Goochland County. (Eef. Land Office 
Eecords. Richmond.) Other lands bought of private parties in same Coiinty. 
(Eef. Goochland County Eecords.) 1745 deeds 200 acres of land to only son 
James for " Love and affection, &c., in Mannikintown, south side of the James 
Eiver, now in Cumberland County. (Eef. GoocUand County Eecords.) 
James' funeral was preached June 12. 1759. (Eef. Douglas Goochland Parish 
Eeg.) He was referred to as a planter and gentleman. This first James mar- 
ried Sarah (]\rrs. or possibly Miss) Woodward. Mary Woodward and her 
daughter, Sarah, receive deed for 75 acres of land from James Holman, who 
refers to her as his wife's eldest daughter. Juno 4, 1748. 

William Woodward, of James City County, recieves deed for 100 acres lying 
near Sarah's, for the consideration of 37 pounds and 10s., June 16, 1755. 

His only son James died before Nov. 23, 1761, as per probation of Will. 
He married Jane; they had 7 children. 

The name of Tandy Holman appears in this same County in 1756, and his 
will was filed Nov. 13, 1760, in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Second Generation 11 

The Family Bible of Deacon Thomas Holman must have been taken by 
one of the daughters who moved away, or have gone into the family of the 
Bancrofts, who cared for liim and his widow in their old age. 

Sarah Cooper baptized Jan. 13, 1738-9, daughter of Samuel Cooper {Sam- 
uel, John), and Sarah Kidder, daughter of Deacon Samuel. Sarah probably 
born in Cambridge, Mass., where Samuel Cooper inherited the homestead 
which he sold in 1730, Apr. 14, to Eben Frost. In 1733 Samuel was Deacon 
of the church in Grafton. His Will proved Apr. 6, 17-19. (Paige's Cam- 
bridge Eef.) 

Thomas Holman made an ineffective Will June 15, 1790, which was filed 
Nov. 4, 1794. Samuel Curtis refused to administer the estate, probably on

at West Millbury, and married, (2) June 10, 1790, Hannah Waters, who 
was Iwrn Dec. 7, 1741. and died July 3, 1813. She was the daughter of

Edward Holman in the same Company. Dee. 29, 1758, with Capt. Solomon 
Holman's Company. (For ref. see Mass. Archives Muster Rolls, Vol 95 
p. 515.) 

Lieut. David Holman served in the Revolution as First Lieutenant in Cap- 
tain Andrew Elliott's Company, 5th Regiment, A¥orcester County, Mass. 
Militia, Col. Jonathan Holman, from Apr. 4 to Dec. 10, 1776, on the Hud- 
son, and in Rhode Island. He was also Lieutenant in Capt. Abijah Bur- 
banks' Company, Col. Jacob Davis, Reg. Mass. Militia, July 30-Auo- 7 
17S0. ' 

Lieut. David Holman, with his cousin. Colonel Jonathan Holman, were 
ranked among the bravest men who went out from Sutton. Eleven mem- 
bers of his family in Sutton, where he was born, fought in the Revolutionary 
War. ^ 

They were descended from one of the earliest families of Newburyport. 
Their landed interests, even then, were quite large, and extended eventually 
until they were the owners of several thousand acres of land. The Holman 
estates in Sutton, with their magnificent fields, their varied prospects, and 
their fine old colonial houses, have ever commanded admiration and attention. 
When the tidings of the massacre in the streets of Boston in 1770, reached 
Sutton, it raised to fever heat the blood that coursed in the veins of the 
cousins, David and Jonathan, who had already struck telling blows for Eng- 
land in colonial service in the contest with France twelve years before. 

^ Great Britain had, in the French War, made frequent levies upon the colo- 
nies for troops, and while she reserved to her men the higher grade of officers, 
she conferred most of the regimental ones upon the colonists, little dreaming 
she was training up a corps of officers who were destined to cope with, and 
vanquish her, ere long.

Third Generation 19 

Washington served as Lieut. Col. under Gen. Braddock, Israel Putnam had 
several hard years of service as Captain; Ebenezer Lamed, of Oxford, and 
Jonathan Holnian, of Sutton, had both served long and suilered much, in 
the region of Lake George and Ticonderoga. 

The clouds of the coming storm gathered thick and fast as months rolled 
b}'. The men of Sutton saddled their steeds and spurred for Lexington. 
They had been tutored by one who knew by experience that grim visaged war 
meant death to many brave hearts. That tutor was Jonathan Holman. 

In 1776, Boston was evacuated. In Ehode Island and the Providence 
plantations this year, the regiment of Holman did effective service. We 
read of him with his cousin, Lieut. David, in July marching to New York, 
and on the 27th of August of the same year, their regiment received a bap- 
tism of fire near the city of New York. In October, at White Plains, the 
entire command of the Sutton officer received the commendations of his 
superiors. 

At Bennington in 1777 we find Holmau and his men opposing the onward 
march of the historic BurgOAiie. They were present at his military death, 
and witnessed the humiliation of the proud English Lord on free American 
soil. 

Under Schuyler and Gates, among the patriots concentrated at Saratoga 
in the Autumn of 1777, the records of Col. Holman and his men sliine bright 
on the page of history.

37 PETER* HOLMAN (Col. Jonathan', Solomon^, Solaman') , son of 
Col. Jonathan and Hannah (Sibley) Holman, was born Oct. 16, 1769, at 

Sutton, Mass., and died Oct. 30, 1829. He married, , 1796, Mercy 

Knight, of Peru. Me., who was born July 1, 1776, and died Dee. 9, 'l855. 

Before 1794, the Holmans had ten of the si.xty parts of the Township of 
Dixfield and Mexico, called Holmantown, but afterwards called " Dixfield," 
as old Dr. Di.x promised to give a library for the town. Marion Holman has 
original deed of Proprietors of Dixfield, Dec. 1, 1779. 

The following is a brief sketch of the Holmans of Dixfield, Maine : 

The towns of Dixfield and Mexico, Maine, were forme rly called Holman- 
town. 

The Dr. Dix that the History of Sutton said gave a liberal bounty for it, 
Dixfield, to be named after him, agreed to give a library, and the only thin^ 
he did was to bring a few old books down to Dixfield, then Holmantown, in

a small trunk. These books were left somewhere over on what they called 
" Severv Hill." Xo one ever knew what became of them. If it is mentioned 
at all in the Genealogy, " I hope he will not get the credit of something he did 
not do." This was mentioned in the article read at the reunion. 

The three Holmans who went to Dixfield built their own sawmill, and got 
out the lumber for their homes. Two built large square frame houses, with 
a fireplace in each room, and the other brother, the same style house, but of 
brick. The two frame ones are standing to-day, in fine condition. The brick 
one was burned a few years ago, but it was so well built that the walls and 
eleven great fireplaces stood in good condition after the entire inside had 
burned out. 

Peter settled at the centre. Jonathan made his clearing one mile away to 
East Dixfield. Ebenezer, a mile away to Dixfield village. 

Xathan, a nephew of the Colonel, settled early in Dixfield. Elisha, a 
brother of Nathan, came in 1801, and settled at Weld, Maine. Col. Jona- 
than's brother, Daniel, settled at Livermore, Maine. 

The first Holman reunion was held in the town house at Dixfield Center, 
Thursday, Aug. 15, 1901. About two hundred and fifty persons were present, 
most of them descendants of Peter, Jonathan and Ebenezer Holman, sons of 
Col. Jonathan Holman, and Hannah Sibley, his wife. 

Col. Holman was a Major in the English Army during the French and 
Indian War, and a Colonel of the 5th Mass. Eegiment of Militia during the 
Eevolution. His father, Soloman Holman, was a Captain during the French 
and Indian War. 

That Col. Holman and his regiment acquitted themselves bravely may be 
justly inferred from the fact that after the battle of Saratoga, this regiment 
was designated to take possession of Fort Edward, and to hold it until the 
dispersion of Burgoyne's Army, which they did. After returning from his 
campaign in ISTew York, which ended with the surrender of Burgovne, though 
not in the regular service, he continued active in the cause by raising troops 
from time to tirae for coast alarms, forwarding supplies and in various ways 
contributing to the grand result, and after the war, when Shay's rebellion 
rose, he promptly, of his own accord, raised a body of men, and marched to 
Petersham, to aid in suppressing it. 

He happened to be in Boston on his way to Dixfield when the news of peace 
arrived, ITTfi. An express was started to carry the news to Portland, and, as 
that city lay on his route, he joined the express and left at the same time. 

He had a powerful, high-spirited horse, which he called his " War horse." 
It was never broken to the harness, could be managed by no one but himself, 
and him only under the saddle. He did not stop to change horses, or look 
back, but rode straight on. Arrived in Portland some time before the ex- 
press, and first proclaimed to the citizens of Portland the news of peace and 
independence. The express was a stage coach. 

Col. Holman gave the land he owned in Township No. 1, on the Xorth side 



30 The Holmans in America 

of the Androscoggin Eiver, now the towns of Dixfield and Mexico, formerly 
called Hohnantown, to these three sons. (He owned seven of the sixty rights, 
and other Holmans were in possession of others. Solomon and David each 
owned one right.) Col. Holman was in the Province of Maine in August 
and September, ITST, looking for a township that he could purchase, and 
determined to obtain, and did, later, the township named. Besides this, the 
Colonel ow©ed large tracts of laml in Massachusetts, Vermont and New 
Hampshire. 

Col. Holman's wife, Hannah Sil^ley, came from Uxbridge, Mass. The first 
Sibley came from England in 1629, and settled in Salem, Mass.

Gould, of Millbury, Mass., who was born Aug. 27, 1801, and died Oct. 15, 
1890. 

Mr. Holman lived in the town of Wayne, and was a scythe maker by 
trade. His first shop was at Livermore, which preceded the famous scythe 
and axo works at Xorth Wayne, Me. Jlr. Holman went to Mass., to learn 
the trade, being able to turn out a finished scythe from the bar of iron. In 
1827 he set up his trip hammer, journeying to Hollowell and Augusta for 
his stock. When a season's stock was ready, he traveled through the State, 
selling them to the farmers. One of these scythes, marked with his name, 
is now in the State House, at Augusta. 

At the age of sixteen, he enlisted. War of 1812; also took part in Aroos- 
took, Jfaine, War. 

The following account was written for The Advertiser, and carries the 
heading : " Manufacture of Scythes ; One of Livermore Falls' Earliest In- 
dustries. Business Done on Depot Street, Then But a Lane." 

" It is a fact not generally known to most of the present residents of this 
busy village, that one of its early manufacturing enterprises was the making 
of scythes. In fact, this was the first shop built in the State of Maine for 
the making of scythes, as it preceded the famous Scythe and Axe Works at 
North Wayne, by several years. 

" Its founder was Mr. Waters Holman, a native of the town of Livermore. 
He went to ^Iassachu,setts while young and learned his trade, thoroughly 
mastering all the details of turning out a finished scythe from the bar of 
iron. While in ]Massachusetts, he married Miss Hannah Gould, of Jlillbury. 
Eeturning to Livermore Falls about the year 1827, he built his shop at the 
foot of the liill, near where the grist mill stood, which was burned in the 
great fire. 

" Here he set up his trip hammer, journeying to Hallowell and Augusta 
for his stock, with his own hands carried it through the different processes 
of welding, plating, finishing, etc., until he had a season's product made, 
then travelled through his own and adjoining towns disposing of them to 
the farmers. One of the scythes marked with his name, is in the State House, 
at Augusta. 

" He built his dwelling house on what is now Depot Street, then but a 
lane. His garden occupying the exact site of the Riverside Hotel today. His 
house was just opposite in the lane. Here he lived, carrying on his business 



38 The Holmans in America 

for t^^■elve years, and here a part of his family of eight children were born. 
The oldest, dying while very yoimg, was buried in the cemetery on Main 
Street. From here he removed to North Wayne, assisting in the building 
of the North Wayne Scythe Shops, and being in the employ of that company 
until his death in 18G2."

David and Lucy (Thurston) Holman, was born Dec. 26, 1761, Sutton, Mass., 
and died about 1842, at Hague, N. Y. He married, May 9, 1786, at Wor- 
cester, Mass., Sally Stone, daughter of Levi and Mary, who was born Mar. 
28, 1765, at Sutton, and died May 16, 1826, aged 71 years, g. s. buried at

Putnam and Orwell, Vt., for provisions, which took him a night and a day. 
He bought two hundred acres of land on a point at Lake George, that has 
recently been sold again for two thousand dollars. The original house had 
a slanting roof. He was overseer of highways, District No. 2, Apr. 2, 1822,

61 EEV. NATHAN^ HOLMAN {Lt. David\ Edward-, Solaman^) son 
of Lt. David and Lncy (Thurston) Holman, was born May 17, 1769, Sutton, 
Mass., and died Oct. 28, 1844, Attleboro, Mass. He married, Nov. 23, 1801, 
Lettice Moray, daughter of Hon. Sam'l and Mary (Hodges) Moray, who 
was born Dec. 35, 1768, Norton, Mass., and died Mar. 6, 1848, aged seventy- 
nine years, two months and thirteen days. 

Eev. Nathan Holman was third son of Lieut. David and Lucy (Thurston) 
Holman. and was born in that part of Sutton now called Millbury, May 17, 
1769. He descended from Solaman Holman, of Newbury, Mass. He labored 
upon his farm until his 21st year, when his ardent thirst for knowledge set 
him to •work to procure a liberal education. He could expect but little 
assistance from his father, who had eleven children, but by uncommon ad- 
herence to his cherished purpose, he succeeded. He was graduated from 
Brown University in 1797, and later took his A. M. Degree with distinguished 
honors. He immediately commenced studying theology with Eev. Edmund 
Mills, of Sutton. He spent the close of his course with Rev. Dr. Emmons. 
He preached with great success, and had numerous calls. 

Early in 1800 he commenced preaching in Attleboro, and was ordained 
there, Oct. 15, 1800, the successor of Eev. Ebenezer Lazell. After laboring 
twentv-one years, he was, to the regret of his people, dismissed May 22, 1821. 
He still resided in Attleboro, supplying destitute pulpits as he was able, 
while he lived. He died suddenly, Oct. 28, 1844, at the age of 75 years. 
His monument is conspicuous in the burying ground north of the meeting- 
house, where he spent his strength. A plain pyramidal shaft with the brief 
inscription above the usual dates, " Look to God." 

At the time of Mr. Holman's settlement in Attleboro, the church was in 
a very low state. There had been but nine additions in eighteen years. There 
were but ten active male members, and none imder fift\' years of age. 

The Inoni. by which JFr. Holman procured the means of his education, is 
still kept in working order in the garret at Attleboro, on which he plied the 
shuttle almost daily during his ministry. The first suit of clothes, says one 
of the sons, which he wore to meeting when a boy, were of his father's 
weaving. As evidence of Mr. Holman's perseverance, it is said that he 
studied Latin and Greek while at work in the field, setting open his book 
on the wall at one side of the plot of ground, and conning his declensions 
and paradigms, while he followed the plough, the hoe, or the scythe across

and back. He thus worked his way through the farm and cUissics, at the 

same time. 

A deep interest in religion marked the commencement of his ministry. 
He says in a sermon, - From the first sermon preached by me in the pulpit, 
some "dated those serious impressions upon their minds, which resulted in 
their hopeful conversion." During the first two years of his ministry, forty- 
three members were added to the church. Then, for twelve years, religion 
declined, and only twelve were added. In 1814, his labors were blessed with 
another and verv extensive revival. The work continued two years, and 
resulted in the addition of one hundred and thirty-four members to the 
church. The revival seemed to give new life to the church, and wrought a 
great change in the morals and habits of the people. Many interesting facts 
are related as connected with this work of Grace. 

He was truly orthodox; was a clear, plain, discriminating preacher of the 
doctrine of Grace. As a pastor, he was eminently adapted to labor in seasons 
of religious interest. He embraced the system of Doctrine called " Hop- 

kinsian." 

He had ever a peculiar and impressive solemnity in the pulpit, especially 
in his prayers, which seldom failed to impart itself to the assembly. His 
manners and habits were marked by regularity, precision, firmness and 
industry. He had bv nature a kind and benevolent disposition, and in all 
his intercourse as pastor, citizen, husband and father, the law of kindness 
was written in his heart. His stvle as a writer was pure and chaste. His 
productions are marked bv a variety of subject, and every sentence tells upon 
the first impression. They abound in terse apothegms. Many sentences heard 
from his lips twenty years before, were still fresh in the mind, even to the 

exact phraseology. 

Mr Holman published several occasional sermons and addresses, (ihere 
is a published volume.) ( ?) He at one time labored in a revival at Franklin 
during the absence of Dr. Emmons, whose pulpit he was supplying. 

The sermons preached during his pastorate of twenty-one years are care- 
fully preserved at the old homestead in Attleboro. Mass. Among them is 
the 'sermon preached at the one hundredth birthday, at the home of Mr. 
Shepherd, the Ancient, who lived to the age of one hundred and four years. 
A funeral sermon preached at Brown University, at the death of our first 
President, George Washington. Some of the most important sermons are 
in the British Museum, London, England. 

These facts are taken from "Historical Sketches." by Rev. J. Crane, 

page 41. -r, , ^- i. 

The following lines were written at the end of the Freshman lear at 

Brown University, Providence, E. I : 

' " RULES FOR REGULATING MT CONDUCT." 

i. " Never to neglect the addressing myself to the Supreme Governor of 
the Universe, morning and evening." 



44 The Holmans in America 

ii. " To be particailarly careful to shun all bad company, such as use 
profane and vulgar language, and are inattentive to their moral 
conduct." 

iii. " Never to speak in a jesting romantic way, but always to speak the 
truth, and in sincerity." 

iv. " Never to make the foibles and imperfections of others the theme of 
discourse, but when others do this, to speak well of the person thus 
spoken against, if possible." 
v. " At all times and in all places to treat every person with proper re- 
spect, as their station requires." 

vi. " To be particularly careful to keep the Sabbath, avoiding all things 
unnecessary to be performed on that day, and refraining as much 
as possible from the vanities that are so apt to attract the unwary 
mind." 

" It is my earnest desire that I may pay proper attention to the above 
rules, and I do this day determine, the Grace of God assisting me, that I will 
follow them." 

Nathan Holman. 
Providence, June 28, 1794. 

The following poetry, relating to the Eev. Nathan Holman, was written 

for the Attleboro Bi-Centennial Celebration: 

" No one's memory here can go, 

So far back as eighteen ten, 

If perchance, it might be so. 

You would find the best of men 

Father Holman, settled here, 

Prompt, erect, devoid of fear. 

In a coat of clerical form. 

With a golden-headed cane. 

Manners, — hearty, frank and warm, 

Sermons, — solid, clear and plain." 
The " Hopkinson belief was that all virtue and true holiness consists in 
disinterested benevolence and that all sin is selfishness." This reference is 
to the Eeverend NATHAN HOLMAN and his doctrine of belief.

of Lieut. David and Lucy (Thurston) Holman, was born Dec. 13, 1777, at 



46 The Holmans in America 

Sutton, Mass., and died Nov. 16, 1866, aged eiglity-nine years, at Douglass, 
Mass. He married. (1) Aug. 1-1, 1810, Clarissa Packard, who was born 
July 23, 1784, and died Nov. 14, 1823. He married, (2) Dec. 7, 1824, Lois 
Adams, who was horn Mar. 4, 1784, and died Sept. 9, 1831. (Lois hung to 
scuttle door in garret.) He married, (3) Apr. 29, 1834, Sarah Cannon, who 

was born , 1773, and died Nov. 26, 1884, aged ninety-one years and 

eight months. 

Eev. David Holnian, of Douglass, Mass., labored on his father's farm 
until twenty-one years of age. He entered the Sophomore Class at Brown 
University, Providence, K. I., in 1800, and was graduated from that insti- 
tution in 1803. He taught for a time in an academy at Cumberland, K. I., 
then, for six months had charge of the grammar school in Worcester, Mass. 
He studied theology with his brother, Eev. Nathan Holman, and with Dr. 
Emmons, of Franklyn. He commenced his labors at Douglass in the autumn 
of 1807, and was ordained on the 19th of Oct., 1808, his brother preaching 
the sermon. Eev. Mr. Mills, of Sutton, offering the ordaining prayer, and 
the Eev. Dr. Emmons giving the charge. He continued a pastor of the 
church until Aug. 17, 1842, when, on account of impaired health, he was 
dismissed. For a few years he supplied various vacant pulpits in neighbor- 
ing parishes. In 1848 he accepted an invitation from his people to resume 
his labors among them, and he continued to perform the duties of pastor 
for five years, though never installed. More than two hundred were added 
to his church. He was distinguished for correctness and propriety of conduct 
in all of the relations of life. — of strict integrity and uprightness. 

Three times he was chosen to represent the town in the State Legislature. 
For forty-two years he held the office of Post-Jfaster, having secured the 
commission under President Monroe. 

He took a deep interest in the education of the young people. He was 
Chairman of the School Committee for more than thirty years. For fifty 
consecutive years he was called upon to open the annual town-meeting with 
prayer, and never did he fail to respond to the call until the March meeting 
preceding his death, when he was unable to be present. 

As a theologian, his views were clear and discriminating. It was never 
difficult for him to state what he believed, or to give a scriptural reason 
for his belief. Though not eloquent, he was very impressive. He spoke as 
one who had a deep conviction of the truth, and importance of what he was 
saying. 

As a pastor, he was faithful, kind and sympathetic, — ever ready to visit 
the sick, or administer consolation to the afflicted. 

His character, as a Christian, was marked by uniformity, and consistency. 
His whole life showed that he was acting from religious principle. In 
speaking of truths, he said at the close of life, — " These Truths are precious, 
• — more precious than silver or gold." 

His tombstone, in Douglass, Mass., reads:

Mrs. Olive (Hnlman) Severy, widow of the late Archibald Severy, was aged

from Sutton, Worcester County, Mass., and settled in Dixfield more than 100 



^0 The Holmans in America 

years ago. Dixfiekl was then called " Hohiiantow'n." It was almost an un- 
broken wilderness. They had an opportunity of selecting the best land in 
town for fanning purposes. The first three brothers selected three adjoining 
lots in the East part of the town, which has for something over 100 years been 
called " Severy Hill." Time has shown that they were good judges of farm- 
ing lands, for those three are among the very best farms in Dixfield. These 
three brothers built large houses, and barns, and out-buildings, and planted 
extensive orchards of apple trees, with plum and cherry, and other fruit trees. 
They also set out a lot of tine shade trees. They all three of them continued 
to live on those same farms during their long and honored lives, and died 
upon them in good old age.

Headquarters Commandery of the Stiite of Maine. 



Portland, Sept. 20, 1906. 

Extract of Tribute to the Jleniory of, 

COMPANION CHARLES WESLEY KEYES, 

Late Captain U. S. A. (Retired.) 

which was adopted at a Stated Meeting of this Commandery, September 12, 1906. 



Captain Charles Wesley Keyes was a farmer's son. He attended the common schools 
of Wilton, and was a student at Kent's Hill Seminary. At the age of nineteen years 
he was employed by his brother, Calvin Keyes, as a scj'tho finisher. 

His military career was honorable and meritorious. From the official Army Register 
it appears that he held many official positions. 

In the regular army he became a Second Lieutenant in the 44th Infantry. 2Stli of 
July, 1866. Accepted' 1st June, 1867. Unassigned 27th May. 1869. Retired "with rank 
of First Lieutenant, 31st of December. 1870. Captain of Infantry, retired, 23rd April, 
1904. Brevet Captain, March 2, 1867. Loss of left leg from wound in line of duty. 

After retiring from the active service of the Army, Captain Keyes purchased the 
Farmington Chronicle and was proprietor and editor for about twelve years, when 
failing health compelled him to lay aside active business. 

He was a Republican in politics, and in religious faith a Methodist. He was Trustee 
of Maine Wesleran Seminary, and of the L'niversity of Maine. 

His wife was formerly preceptress at !Maine Wesleyan Seminary. 

Captain Keyes was a good citizen, who merited the respect of his townsmen. He 
was loyal to his cliurch. his political party, and his friends. Naturally generous and 
sympathetic, he contributed largely to the comfort and support of needy relatives, and 
his hand was always open to relieve distress. He wlis a clifcrful giver in support of 
causes in which he believed. 

Business was generally suspended in Farmington during his funeral, as a mark of 
respect to his memory, and the whole community felt the logs of a good man.

The following quotation is of interest : 

" Mrs. Liberty Walker, of Bridgeton, late of Peru, has in her possession 
several articles of cotton and linen made in a hand loom nearly a century 
ago. A cotton sheet, stout as an ordinary table cloth, was made from the 
first lot of cotton warp yarn ever brought into the town of Livermore, and 
was made by Melinda Holman of that town, as a part of her wedding outfit. 
She w^as married to George Walker, of Peru, in 1812, and the homo-made 



80 The Holmans in America 

articles mentioned above are now cherished heirlooms in the family of Mrs. 
Walker. The loom in which these articles were woven is also the property 
of Mrs. Walker, who keeps it in good order and running briskly much of the 
time on rag carpets and other useful or ornamental fabrics. This loom was 
originally owned and used by ' Aunt Dolly Holman,' of Livermore, a notable 
weaver of tlie last century. It was given to her niece, Melinda Holman, who, 
during a long and busy life, wove many thousand yards of ' home-made.' 
After her marriage to Mr. Walker, and removal to Peru, she was one of the 
most famous spinners and weavers of that region. She is reported by her 
daughter-in-law, the present possessor of the loom, to have related that she 
kept an account of her income from weaving alone during the first few years 
of her married life, amounting to $-100.00, which sum was but a fraction of 
her earnings during her long life, as she continued to spin and weave until 
past her SOth year. She died in Peru, in her t)2nd year, Aug. 9, 1879."

" Professor David Shepard Holman, of Philadelphia, the inventor of the 
Holman life slides and other accessories to the microscope, who died on 
Monday, although to a great extent self-educated and without the advantage 
of a scientific training, was a sldlful microscopist, and devoted many years 
of his life in this city to the invention of devices for illustrating with the 
microscope the vital forces. In 1870 he became connected with the Franklin 
Institute, and the following year he was elected actuary of the society, which 
position he held until 1865. During this time he perfected many of his 
devices and inventions, delivered lectures, and, foreseeing the great advan- 
tages of the typewriting machine, he established a school of stenography 
and typewriting at the Institute which was very successful. He afterward 
taught stenography and tv'pewriting at Girard College. He was a member 
of the Academy of Natural Sciences. After leaving the Firanklin Institute, 
he identified himself with the Atlantic Eefining Company, and for a number 
of years was in charge of the laboratory for testing the viscosity of oil. In 
this connection, also, his inventive genius led him to devising the ' viscosi- 
meter.' " 

In 1887, he was lecturing in the scientific field, and connected with the 
Franklyn Institute.

Edward-, Solamaii^) , son of Eev. Nathan and Lettice (Morey) Holman, was

July 27, 1848, by Eev. Henry G. Stewart. Cumberland, E. L, Charlotte Jane 
Balcom, daughter of Wm. and Eliza (Thomas) Balcom, who was born Sept.

The following is extracted from Daggett's " History of Attleboro " : 
David Emory Holman was born October 12, 1805, in the house where his 
entire life, with the exception of a few years, was passed. After the town 
schools, he attended the Wrentham Academy, then well known and of excel- 
lent repute. Many Attleborough boys of that, and a later period, were stu- 
dents there, and, where we do not doubt they pursued their studies as good 
boys should, we are sure from the reminiscences we have heard, that some of 
them, at least, were zealous in the pursuit of sport, and highly successful in 
the playing of pranks. His fun-loving nature would place David Holman 
in the ranks of these merry lads, but his " jokes " would never absorb him to 
the neglect of duty, or the serious annoyance of anyone, no matter how sen- 
sitive. After completing his studies, he became a teacher, and as such met 
with good success. All who knew him would say this could scarcely be other- 
wise. He would have a most agreeable way of imparting instruction, good- 
humored patience in assisting the dull, or urging the indolent pupils, and 
he could illustrate every knotty point or gloomy passage with an *' experi-

ence," and fix facts and dates in treacherous memories with some apt inter- 
esting story. He did not follow the profession of teaching, but entered 
business. 

In 1835-36 he was Representative in the Legislature. He was at this time 
only thirty years of age, the youngest man ever sent from this town, and one 
of the youngest, if not the very youngest, ever sent to that body. It is rare 
that the choice falls upon one so youthful, and when it does so fall, it must 
show that the recipient of the honor has unusual ability. 

Mr. Holman, who presided at the greatest celebration Attleboro had ever 
witnessed, July 4, 1853, proposed this prophetic toast: — "The Pearl of the 
Antilles." 

" A tropic Isle, 

In the bosom of the deep. 
Where the skies forever smile, 

And the oppressed forever weep." 

Mr. Holman joined the Washington Rifle Corps, and when quite young 
became its Captain, filling the position admirably. Upon the breaking out 
of the Eebellion, he at once enlisted. 

His Excellency, 
JOHN A. ANDREW, 

Governor and Commander-in-Chief 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
To David E. Holman, Attleborough, Greeting: — ■ 
Whereas, on the twenty-first day of May, A. D. one thousand eight hun- 
dred and sixty-one, you were elected Major, of the Fifteenth Regiment, and 
First Division of the Militia of this Commonwealth, — I do, by these pres- 
ents, reposing special trust and confidence in your ability, courage and good 
conduct, commission you accordingly. You will, therefore, with honor and 
fidelitv, discharge the duties of said office, according to the laws of this Com- 
monwealth, and to Military Rule and Discipline. And all inferior officers 
and soldiers are hereby commanded to obey you in your said capacity, and 
you will yourself observe and follow such orders and instructions as you shall, 
from time to time, receive from the Commander-in-Chief, or others, your 
superior officers. (Whole Regiment transferred to 7th Mtiss. Vol. Inf. June

To become a soldier did not change Major Holman's genial nature; he was 
always the same polite and affable gentleman. He recognized nothing derog- 
atory to the dignity of an officer in the holding of friendly intercourse with 
the ranks when proper occasions offered. He always had a kind and cheery 
greeting for everyone in his regiment, for the subalterns, the privates, and 
the servants. This simple, and to him, natural politeness, gained for him the 
goodwill and afEection of the men, but at the same time caused jealousy among 
a few of the higher officers, who doubtless wished themselves to gain the same 
goodwill of the men, but were unable or unwilling to pursue the same course. 

The following resolutions, and their acknowledgment by Major Holman, 
speak for themselves : — ■

Resolved ; — 

That by the mild, gentlemanly deportment, and unexceptionable character, 
which they have invariably sustained while here, they have gained tlie love 
and esteem of all with whom they came in contact. 
Eesolvcd ;— 

That we do most heartily approve of the manly spirit which prompted 
their resignation, and trust that their reception at home will be such as ig 
due to men of unquestioned bravery, who early and earnestly devoted them- 
selves to their country's call. 

Voted; — That a copy of these Resolutions be forwarded to the Attleboro 
Weel-hj News, and also to the Taunton Gazette, for publication. 

Attleboro, Sept. 9, 1861. 
Mt Dear Sir; — ■ 

Allow me to thank you, and through you, your companions in arms, for 
the complimentary resolutions referring to myself and Lieut. Fisher, which 
appeared in the Taunton Gazette of last week. Be assured though far away 
from yoii, your manly forms seem always passing before me. Your cheerful 
recognition as we met, can never be forgotten by me, and will ever be remem- 
bered with pleasure, — but the event that separated us has caused me more 
sorrow than any other event in my life, in the delirium of the moment I 
did not think of the sad consequences that would follow my resignation, — 
that I was to pass away from you alone, — for I had fondly hoped that when 
our work was done, that I should have the pleasure of presenting you all to 
our friends at home. But this, I fear, is not now to be my pleasant lot, — 
though I have sometimes vainly hoped that something might occur to send 
me back to you again. Once again I thank you, and as you pass about the 
camp, please remember me kindly to all, not forgetting even the servants. 

yours truly, 

D. E. HOLMAN. 

This letter was addressed to Lieutenant William H. Wade, then a Sergeant 
in Company I. It should silence all doubt as to the writer's wish to return 
to his regiment, as the resolutions should prove the uprightness of his con- 
duct. 

All prospect of his being able to return to his command having come to 
an end, he went soon after to England. The climate of that country proved 
agreeable and beneficial to him. He retired from active business in 1873, 
and during the remaining ten years of his life, be lived quietly at the old 
homestead, and interested himself in the personal care of his farm lands. 

In person, Maj. Holman was of commanding presence, being tall, vigor- 
ous in frame, and of marked military bearing. His stalwart fonn, which 
never seemed that of an old man, has often attracted notice in the procession 
on Memorial Dav; he was a member of W. A. Streeter Post. G. A. R., and 



100 The Holmans in America 

always joined them in their memorial offices. He was an unusually cour- 
teous man, — one of great urbanity of manner, but withal perfect sincerity. 
He possessed friendly feelings for all mankind, hatred was a thing unknown 
to his nature. He was always saying pleasant words, always doing kind 
deeds. His manners, — the same to all classes, high or low, rich or poor, — 
never changed, because they were a portion of himself. He was brought up 
in the old school of politeness, when cliildren were taught to treat their elders 
and superiors with respect, to rise when their parents or elders entered a 
room where they were, " To bow to aged people, and strangers in the streets, 
to formulate a polite speech when sent out on an errand, and to answer every 
one, even their own parents, with ' yes, ma'am,' and ' yes, sir ' " ; but, back 
of and beyond all outward training and example was the something innate 
which made him one of " Nature's noblemen," — a born gentleman. 

His social qualities were very vmcommon. The tones of his voice were 
musical and expressive, his choice of words apt, his language refined, and 
his mind stored with countless incidents and experiences which he had the 
faculty of appropriating readily to whatever might be the subject of conver- 
sation. He made himself agreeable to young and old alike, and became a 
chief attraction in whatever circle he entered. His faculty for telling stories 
was indeed remarkable, and the fund was apparently inexhaustible. Each 
one had a special point, and fitted with such peculiar exactness and place into 
which he put it, tliat it made a description perfect, which without it would 
have seemed unfinislied, or a question discussed quite clear, that, wanting 
such an anecdote to explain it, might have been misunderstood. There is an 
old house in town at whose fireside in the years gone by Major Holman was 
a frequent and always a welcome visitor, for he and its owner were lifelong 
intimate friends. Again and again, after spending an hour or two there 
engaged in business talk or pleasant chat, he has risen and prepared to return 
home by putting on his greatcoat, but before he could get it buttoned, some 
amusing anecdote would suddenly occur to him proper to relate just then and 
there, and this would pave tlie way for another and another and another, 
and leaning on the chimney-piece, hat in hand, he has told story after story, 
himself and his listeners thoroughly absorbed and interested, and totally ob- 
livious of the lapse of time, until the clock-hands pointed closely to the small 
hours of the morning. His style was inimitable; it was quiet and not dra- 
matic, and his face in repose was somewhat serious, but it was easily lighted 
up, and the playful twinkle of his eye as he proceeded with his tale, and his 
low but hearty laugh, spread an irresistible contagion of merriment all around. 

Charming and entertaining as a guest, he was equally so as a host. From 
the first the " Holman House " has been known as an " open house," one of 
general and generous entertainment. Among the pleasantest of the many 
pleasant records found on the clerk's book of the Washington Eifle Corps are 
those relating to certain meetings just preceding the sham fight near East 
village, which some of the old people still remember. Mr. Holman, then

Captain, announced to the company that on the clay of the tight, " They could 
dine at father's," and we are told that this invitation was gladly accepted, 
and that some thirty or forty men sat down to a bountiful repast just before 
the battle. The mantle of the father fell upon the son, and the reputation 
he established in this direction was well maintained. Indeed the hospitable 
doors of that mansion were never closed; a room in it was always ready for 
strangers, — clergyTiien or lecturers, whoever they might be, — while a large 
circle of relatives and friends were always gathering within its walls, as well 
as the simple acquaintances at home and from abroad. All who crossed that 
threshold received a cordial welcome which placed them at their ease, while 
host and hostess vied with each other in their charming, graceful way, to 
make the hours pass pleasantly for their guests. During many years tliis 
house was the centre of hospitality in the village, and sad indeed was that 
event which broke up this pleasant home, and made those days of bright 
social intercourse onlj^ things of the past. 

Mr. Holman was especially fond of his family and home, and the ties of 
kinship were with him peculiarly strong and binding. For eighty years he 
and his brother lived side by side, — sometimes in the same house — with a 
loving fellowship and a close unanimity which are very rare. He had deep 
and decided religious feelings, but never fashioned his creed exactly after 
the pattern of any one special sect, and therefore never identified himself 
with any church as a member. His last illness, which was caused by a dis- 
ease of the heart, confined him to the house about four weeks, but was not 
considered imminently fatal until two days before his death. His cheerfulness 
triumphed over all suffering; to the very last his mind recalled bright remi- 
niscences, and his ready tongue responded, bringing smiles to the lips of the 
physician and attending friends, though all realized the seriousness of the 
situation. To such a man death is not a " King of Terror," but simply an 
inevitable experience to be met with the same undisturbed serenity as are the 
ordinary affairs of daily life. JPajor Holman died December 10, 1883, and 
thus one of the most honorable of men, and one nf the most worthy citizens 
the town has ever had, passed away. 

Mrs. Charlotte Jane Holman 

" Her sweet and gracious presence seems still to pervade the familiar rooms 
of the ' Homestead.' Always daintily clothed, the beauty and strength of 
her life still lingers everywhere. What of happiness came to her, was freely 
shared by all; the ills and sorrows were received in silence and borne in 
secret; the world met with nothing but unfailing courtesy and kindly cheer- 
fulness; the home was the center of the pleasantest hospitality, enjoyed by 
both young and old — strangers, relatives and friends. 

"One rare characteristic was her unchangeableness ; from the beginning 
to the end of her life, she was the same, for the gathering years touched her so 
lightly, that their weight was scarcely felt. Hers was a nature that could 



102 The Holmans in America 

never grow old. She was ever hopeful. Life was full of bright anticipations, 
of pleasurable occupations, and through all of her varied experiences, she 
kept the enthusiasm and buoyancy of her youth. She had a quick intelli- 
gence, a ready, receptive mind, the power to grasp the thoughts and ideas of 
others, the power to think for herself and to impart all thoughts delightfully 
to others. She always had something to say, and a fascinating way of saying 
it. She had the rare gift of conversation, and the equally rare charm of man- 
ner that comes from perfect unconsciousness of self. She was fitted by na- 
ture and cultivation and exceptional beauty to grace any position in life. 
The polite world and the world of letters received her most kindly both at 
home and abroad. She accepted and made the most of the opportunities 
given, by cheerful, willing service, ennobling many of the smallest things in 
life. And she found abundant work for her willing hands to do, with num- 
berless deeds of thoughtfulness for friends, of helpful visits to the sick and 
dying. With many social duties, she was never too busy to spend long hours 
with her children in their sports on rivers or in the woods. The homestead 
lot was a happy playground for the children of the neighborhood — which cov- 
ered a wide range of territory — the house a refuge for them in trouble or 
distress, and she their ministering angel. 

" With all that she had to do, she still found time to cultivate her mind 
and talents, for, in the best sense of the word she was ambitious. That was, 
perhaps, a chief underlying motive of her life and character, the keen desire 
to make the most and best of herself in every way, to stimulate the same de- 
sire in her sons, and to help them to the utmost in the fulfilment of her high 
hopes for them. But her ambition was not selfish, there was the same keen 
desire to help others to the higher plane of living, to work for the greatest 
development, the highest good of all who came within her influence. Mrs. 
Holman was a most gracious and charming woman, a sweet and gentle lady 
of the type fast passing away; pure in heart, pure in mind, pure in life, she 
was raised above all pettiness, all malice, all uncharitableness. She was full 
of loving kindness and tender mercy of high ideals and good purposes. She 
was a beautiful wife and mother, a real liomemaker, a true and trusted friend. 
Volumes could be printed of her deeds of kindness, but, better far than that, 
they are written in the hearts of those whom she befriended. But the time 
came far too soon, when she, for the last time, passed down the shaded 
path, through long lines of relatives and friends, to the well-known gateway, 
under the great elm standing guard there for more than a century, across the 
ancient common, by the venerable church, whose bell was solemnly tolling, 
on to the family's last resting-place in the Old Kirk Yard, just as the shad- 
ows of a beautiful day were lengthening, and the night coming on, and thus 
onward to the land of immortality."

" Dr. David Emory HOLMAN inherited with his father's name his stately 
form and courteous bearing; this gentleman is making a brilliant career and 
wresting from fortune everything called success in life. Gifted by nature in 
feature and physique, he has added to his acquisitions by every opportunity 
of education, travel, and social life, until he stands a prominent figure among 
a large circle of musical and literary people of New York City, where he was 
established as a physician. He graduated from the schools of Attleboro, Mass., 
Mowry and Goofs Preparatory School of Providence, R. I., and from Brown 
University, from which he received the degrees of A. B. and A. M. He taught 
school in Wisconsin and California. He then returned to New Y'ork where 
he studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and received 
his M. D. from the Long Island College Hospital. He was Deputy Health 
Officer at the Bay of New Y'ork in ISSO; a member of the Board of Health in 
the city in 1884. He has now retired to the ' Old Homestead,' the place of 
his birth."

The following is taken from the Paris edition of The New York EeraJd : 

Mr. Frank Holman. the American artist who has achieved for himself the 
title of one of the coming men in the ranks of the younger school of artists in 
Paris, occupies a particularly fine studio in the Ave de Breteuil, Paris. France. 

Were you to ask me what kind of a man ]\Ir. Holman is, I would reply that 
he is an artist jusqu'au bout des ongles. The spirit which causes him to play 
the piano and sing so well as he does, and to buy beautiful bits of furniture to 
adorn his home, is the same which gives him the talent of painting. It is 
simply the love of art. 

In art he loves best tho.se things which are delicate and simple. Y^ou have 
but to look around the walls of his studio to see that. Tliose few marguerites 
lying in a small bowl of clear water will give you an idea of Mr. Holman's 
love of simplicity in art. It is shown in his picture on the easel in the center 
of the room, which will in a few days be off on a journey to the Champ-de- 
Mars. He calls it "Melody." I should have felt inclined to call it "Har- 
mony " — a harmony of light and color. The subject is simple. A young girl 
in evening dress, a dress of delicate violet, is seated at a piano with her 
back toward us. She has taken the music down from the stand in front of 
her. She rests it in front of her. and one would seem to hear her humming 
the notes prior to playing the piece. On the top of the dark piano is a white 
marble biist. To the right a large palm, and a clever light plays in strong 
relief upon the floor. A rich note of color is introduced in the chair upon 
which she is seated. It is a simple, natural, winning picture. Though in 
water-colors, the treatment is so broad that, until you look into it. you might 
imagine it to be an oil painting. A second picture, which Mr. Holman has 
just completed, is a life-size bust portrait of a lady with a Louis XV mirror 
behind her, and a pattern of green. 

Mr. Holman is a native of 'Massachusetts, but was brought up in New Y'nrk. 
After studying for a while in the National Academy of New Y^ork. he came 
over to Paris, and commenced his studies nt the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under 
Cabanel and Carolus Duran. There he studied three years. One of his early 
pictures which made a hit was his " Interior of St. Germain-de-Pres." showing 
a number of figures kneeling, which was exhibited in New Y'^ork, and which 
was at once purchased at a highly encouraginc: price. 

The year 1SS5 saw his first Salon picture, in a full-length portrait. He has 
exhibited ever since. Mr. Holman is a figure painter and ,a colorist. In the 
latter direction he found ample scope in his travels through Africa and Spain, 



104 The Holmans in America 

and last year we saw his " Rose of the Alhambra," a very harmonious picture 
of a beautiful Moorish girl, and an Oriental interior. That picture is now 
in a well-known yallery in New York. Also his pictures "Morocco" and 
" Judith." 

To Berlin Mr. Holnian has sent a duplicate of his Salon picture, " Melody "; 
also a study of a parroquet, and these calls upon him have well-nigh exhausted 
his stock of available canvases, and, if report be true, he has already secured 
a purchaser for his Salon picture of this year. 

Mr. Holman has traveled considerably. Those splendid inlaid chairs which 
ornament his studio are of Venetian workmanship. Those curious-looking 
wooden bowls with inscriptions round them were brought back by him from 
Norway. He has visited nearly every country in Europe, except Russia. He 
knows Spain by heart, and Morocco is an open book to him. 

He inlierited from his rarely gifted and talented mother, Mrs. Charlotte Jane 
HOLMAN, his love and ability for art and he has made a brilliant career as 
a painter. 

An American periodical speaks of " Mr. HOLMAN as a young man of great 
talents: added to that of painting, he plaj's the piano, sings, and is good at 
fencing, a fascinating conversationalist, quick at repartee, and a noted wit — 
He is distinguished looking, generous, and willing to extend a helping hand 
to all who come to him. — His chosen line is the figure. He paints with 
vigor and breadth and is remarkable for his color." 

His "Titan Beauty" is brilliantly painted and his "Rose of the Alham- 
bra" received flattering commendation from Messonier, His "Santa Maria 
della Salute " is full of rare Venetian sentiment. He has now become one of 
the most celebrated painters of Venetian scenes. 

The following article, relating to Frank Holman, is from the 0?tober, 1008, 
issue of the Rcvista Interna^ionnle llhislratn, of Torino, Italy: 

" Pour apprecier comme il convient le talent de Frank Holman, qui s'est 
fait une place il part non seulement en Amerique, mais en Europe, parmi les 
peintres les plus distingues, il faut voir ses ceuvres. 

" Mr Holman est un jeune hommc de grande valeur. A son talent de peintre 
il joint ceux de pianiste et d'olegant diseur: c'est de plus un amateur d' es- 
crime OmOrite et son esprit a cette vivacite de repartie propre aux fines lames. 
Voyageur intrepide, il connait tons les coins de I'Europe les plus artistiques. 
Frank Holman, no pres de Boston, vint a Paris fort jeune, entra k I'Ecole 
des Beaux Arts, oil il fut pendant trois ans I'eleve du celebre Cobanal et plus 
tard de Carolus-Duran. Ses tableaux presentent des qnalitcs d'ensemble, de 
vigueur et de coloris qui leur out valu d'ailleurs I'attention aux expositions de 
Londres, de Paris, de New-York, de Munich. Sa toile mauresque Morocco, 
exhiboe a New-Y'ork, ainsi que celle intitulee Hose fie I' Alhambrn, a Londres, 
ont <?t(5 enlevees a l>on prix bien avant la cloture des expositions. Sa Judith 
a ete regardee au Salon de Paris, et le portrait de sa mere a recu une recom- 
pense. Son aquarelle Meloch/, representant une jeune fiHe en toilette du soir, 
assise au piano, fut une des perles du Salon du Champ de Mars. 

" Depuis quelques annees Mr Frank Holman semble vouloir s'attacher plus 
particulierement aux vues de Venise, et le succes ropond pour lui aux efTorts 
que requiert nn genre aussi delicat. Plusieurs de ses tableaux de cette ville si 
poetique, si mysterieuse. qu'il a disposes le long de son ravissant atelier, 
presentent une finesse de touche remarquable. une richesse de reflets et une 
purete de ciels exprimant tout ensemble la force et la douceur de son pin"eau. 
Peu on point d'accessoires, des fonds d'une simplicite rare sur lesquela se 
detache le seul motif du tableau sont ' sa maniere ' la plus frequente. 
L'Amorique est fiere d'avoir produit un artiste aussi distingue. 

" Que pourrions-nous dire de plus et de mieux. si nous ajoutons que Frank 
Holman recoit toutes les faveurs que la Ville Lumifre salt si bien dispenser 
aux veritables artistes ? "

199 MARY HODGES" HOLMAN {Eev. Nathan^ Lieut. David\ Ed- 
ward-, Solaman^), daii.sjhter of Eev. Nathan aud Lcttice (Jlorey) Holman, 
was born Feb. 24, 1808, at Attleboro, Mass., and died Feb. 22, 1871, at 
Prescott, Wis. She married. May 20, IS-tS, at Attleboro, Mass., Col. Mtison 
Stone, son of Nathan, who -n-as born May 21, 1800, Norton, JIas*.. and died 
Nov. 31, 1887, at Prescott, Wis. (Family Record, died Dee. 3, 1887.) 

Mary Hodges Holman, who married Mason Stone, May 20, 1815, was best 
understood in one phase of her character by the fact that the five children of 
the man whom she married, ranging in years from 19 to 5, loved her and 
reverenced her as an own mother and never saw any difference in her care of 
them and that of the two children born to her later. Her own children died 
in their youth, — one being 14 and the other 20, — and they were mourned by 
the first family of children for this mother's sake, as well as their own, with 
great sorrow. 

A woman of commanding presence, yet so tender that the weak and suf- 
fering turned instinctively to her for strength and sympathy. 

Her placid, smiling countenance spoke of a rested spirit; her stillnes was 
that of one who had heard, — " Be still, and know that I am God." 

Uncompromising in her sense of God and His Rights, she gave no uncer- 
tain sound in the melody of her daily serviee. Well did she obey the Com- 
mand, ■' Honor Thy Father," for never did a clergyman's daughter better 
honor the calling of a father, and she always had a " Prophet's Chamber." 
And to her came those ministers in the new Western country, so brave yet 
so weary sometimes, with their heavy burdens of discouragement in the start- 
ing of the church life of this new world, and she always had a heartening 
smile and wise word for them. 

In the spring of 1853, Mr. Stone went West to select a new home in Wis- 
consin, and then went home for his family in the succeeding fall, leading 
that refined, cultured woman into the wilds of Pierce County, where she en- 
dured without a murmur the lonesome and hard life of the Pioneer's wife in 
those days. On that farm, and in the city of Prescott, a few miles from 
there, she spent the remainder of her earthly life. 

One hardly dares mention her virtues, for she would so surely have been 
displeased in her humble sense of her own unworthiness. Her Home and her 
Church saw of the fruit of her labors before God took her to Himself. She 
still lives aud labors, but now it is in the light of His Countenance.

106 The Holmans in America 

N". Y., and died Apr. 1, 1886, Thompson, 111. Peter was cousin to Park 
Holman, and not brother of Leonard. 

Peter Holman was born in Sutton, North Parish, now Millbury, Worces- 
ter Count}', Mass., on the 30th day of January, 1803. He was the son of 
Peter and Lydia (Greenwood) Holman, of Scotch descent. He was one of 
twelve children, and was educated in common schools of his native state, 
receiving a liberal education for that period. ;, 

When 22 years of age, he emigrated to Hague, Warren County, N. Y., and 
settled upon the shores of Lake George. Here he taught school in the winter, 
and in summer was employed in the lumber business. 

In 1827, he was married to Miss Betsy Balcom, to whom were born ten 
children. 

In the spring of 1831, he visited the territory of Illinois for the purpose 
of selecting a location to settle. About this time Old Black Hawk was mak- 
ing trouble in the Northwest, and he decided to wait for more settled times. 
In 1833, he came West, and helped to build the Steam Mill at Knoxville, 
Knox County, Illinois, remaining in the State or Territory for two years, 
and in the meantime traveled extensively over the Northwesternly Territory 
as far north as Green Bay, Fort Snelling, and Burnt Pine. The Northwest 
at the time was very " sparsely " settled, and but few pioneers were bold 
enough to brave the dangers and hardships of that day. 

In 1836 he moved his family to Port Gibson, N. Y., where he remained 
one year. From thence he removed to West Henrietta, Monroe County, N. Y. 

In 1844, he boarded a packet with his family at Eochester, and went to 
Buffalo, where they took steamer for Chicago, and thence with teams to 
York, Carroll County, Illinois, where he was engaged in farming until 1863, 
when he moved to Thompson, Carroll County, Illinois. He was appointed 
the first Postmaster of the village, which position he held for twenty-two 
years. At the first regular town meeting of York Township, April 2, 1850, 
he was elected the first Justice of the Peace of the town, which office he held 
for twenty-four years. He held at different times various other town offices. 

He belonged to the Free Mason Lodge, and in July, 1825, was raised to the 
degree of Mlaster Mason of Olive Branch Lodge, in Sutton, Mass.

Judge Alphonso Taft, of Cincinnati, was twice elected to the bench without 

opposition; once, appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy. A graduate 

of Yale, 1833. ^ ^ ^ ,^ 

After the resignation of Gen. Belknap in March, 1876, Judge Taft was 
made Secretary of War, which office he held until the M.ay following, and 
then became Attorney-General under President U. S. Grant. _ Pi-e^Klent 
Arthur appointed him successively Minister to Austria and Russia, 1883-85, 

1885-87 

In 1875 he had been a candidate for the nomination of Governor of Ohio, 
but a dissenting opinion that he had delivered on the question of the Bible 
in the public schools was the cause of much opposition. The opinion that 



156 The Holmans in Ameuica 

defeated his nomination was afterwards- unanimously affirmed by the Su- 
preme Court, and is now the law of the State. It was after that affair Gen. 
Grant selected him for the then vacant office of Secretarv of War. 

Yale College gave him the degree of LL.D. in 1867. 

Judge Taft was twice married. His eldest son, Charles P. Taft, is pro- 
prietor of Cincinnati Times-Star. 

At the death of Judge Taft, according to instructions from the Secretary 
of War, Gen. McCook tendered a guard of honor of the F. S. Army for the 
body, but Mrs. Taft declined, with due appreciation of the honor. 



GENEALOGY OF THE TAFTS. 
The Family History Compiled hy President Taft's Mother. 

The first ancestor of President Taft revealed by the late Judge Taft's 
researches was Eobert Taft, a housewright (born about 1645, died Feb. 8, 
1725), who went from the then Province of Braintree and settled at Mendon, 
Mass., in 1669. He and wife Sarah had five sons, one of whom, Joseph, born 
in 1680, married (1708) Elizabeth Emerson (born Mar. 6, 1687, at Ipswich, 
died 1760 at Uxbridge), the granddaughter of the first minister of Mendon, 
and died June 18, 1747, at Uxbridge. 

Joseph's second son was Captain Peter Taft, born in 1715, whose wife, 
Elizabeth Cheney, was born Sept. 21, 1707, at Medfield, Mass. 

Captain Peter's third son was Aaron, born May 28, 1743. He was fitted 
for Princeton, but had to leave college before he had finished, although he 
had already established a reputation as a scholar. He settled in Uxbridge, 
Mass., but removed, Mar. 9, 1799, to Townsend, Vt., where he died Mar. 26, 
1808. Their household goods were loaded upon a sled and drawn by two 
3'oke of oxen to their new home. The snow was so deep that it took nineteen 
pairs of oxen to move their belongings at the latter part of the journey. 
Aaron Taft married (1768) Ehoda Eawson, who was born Oct. 4, 1749; died 
June 9, 1827, at Townsend. She was the great-great-granddaughter of Ed- 
ward Eawson, secretary of the M'assachusetts Bay Colony from 1650 to 1686. 

Peter Eawson Taft, the third son of Aaron, born Apr. 14, 1785, married 
Sylvia Howard in 1810. He taught school and was admitted to the bar. He 
became judge of the common pleas, judge of the probate court, judge of the 
county court of Windham County, was one of the county commissioners, and 
was for many years a member of the legislature. He was 14 years old when 
his parents moved to Townsend, to which place he walked, leading the cow. 

He removed to Cincinnati in 1841, where he died in 1867, leaving one 
son, Alphonso. Alphonso Taft was admitted to the bar in 1838 and went 
to Cinciimati the next year. In 1857 he argued before the United States 
Supreme Court the claim of the city for the bequest of Charles McMicken, 
which secured the nucleus of the endowment fund for the University of

Cincinnati. Mrs. Taft wrote concerning her husband's reputation while he 
was judge of the Supreme Court: 

" No young man was ever turned away because his case was considered 
too small for the judge's patience; no experienced lawyer ever felt his case 
too large or the questions involved too intricate for the judge's capacity 
and learning." 

M?rs. Taft was descended from William Torrey, who went from Somerset, 
England, to Weymouth, Mass., in 1640. He was for many years a member 
of the house of deputies and was always chosen clerk. He was a magistrate 
and captain of militia and died in 1690. 

The fifth William in the line of descent was reported to have been si.x feet, 
seven inches tall. He was the father of Samuel Davenport Torrey and 
grandfather of Mrs. Taft. 

The President's grandmother, Susan Holman Torrey, " was a woman of 
rare endowment and character," wrote Mrs. Taft, " well educated for the 
period, and her highest interest was always in the world of thought. She 
had an irresistible desire to know the best that had been written in literature 
and philosophy, and she had the courage to follow the new views of truth, 
which her active and progressive mind attained, to their conclusions." 

Of her father. Mrs. Taft wrote: 

" Mr. Torrey will be long remembered as a man of marked individuality, 
of thorough business methods, of inflexible integrity, with a decision and 
force of character which left a lasting impression wherever he was known." 

Judge Taft's first wife, Fanny Phelps, was a daughter of Judge Charles 
Phelps, of Townsend, Vt. She died in 1851. Three children were born to 
her, one of whom died in infancy. Charles Phelps Taft. the second son, is 
the proprietor of the Cincinnati Times-Star. The third son, Peter Eawson 
Taft, died in 1888. 

William Howard Taft, the eldest living son of Judge Alphonso Taft and 
his second wife, Louisa M. Torrey, was elected Nov. 3, 1908, the twenty- 
seventh President of the United States. 

" The fact that, throughout his long and honorable public career, he has 
received promotion continuously," wrote Mrs. Alphonso Taft concerning her 
son, " is ample evidence of his capability and reliability and of the sterling 
integrity of his character. In October, 1906, he was sent to Cuba by Presi- 
dent Roosevelt to direct the restoration of order, and discharged the delicate 
duties with signal sagacity and success." 

William Howard Taft's ancestry through the Thurston family begins with 
the marriage. Mar. 12, 1668, of Hannah Thurston, who was born in 1650, and 
died Dec. 29, 1690, to Joseph Cheney, who was born July 27, 1685, and died 
in 1754. She was the eighth child of John and Margaret Thurston. John 
was born Jan. 13, 1601, at Wrentham, Suffolk county, England, and died 
Nov. 1, 1683. Margaret was born 1605, and died May 9, 1663. The family 
came from England in the ship Mary Ann of Yarmouth, when Margaret was

about 32 years old, and they brought their two sons with them. They were 
received into the church at Dedham, Mass., Jan. 28, 1640. John Thurston 
attended a meeting in Nov., 164-4, to provide some means of education for 
the youth. His estate was set off from the town of Dedham in 1615, becom- 
ing a part of Medfield. The family finally settled at Wrentham, giving the 
town its name. 

Joseph and Hannah (Thurston) Cheney's son, Josiah (born July 27, 
1685; died 1754), married Hannah Mason (died Apr. 22, 1717), and their 
daughter, Elizabeth (born Sept. 21, 1707), married Captain Peter Eawson 
Taft.

born Mar. 1, 1840, Eoekville, Ct. He married, (1) Meda Cole, married (2) 
Kittie Carpenter. 

Mr. C'has. J. Holman went to Yankton, Dakota, then Indian Territory. 
His claim taken up embraced the western half of Yankton. After three 
weeks, Indians drove him across the river, but in two weeks time he re- 
turned, and built a log cabin, 16 x 16. Sixty Sioux Indians tried to drive 
him and his party away, and five or six would point rifles at lum, but the 
Indians had orders from the Government not to shoot unless first fired upon 
by the white men. Finally, the cabin was destroyed by the Indians, and in 
1858 he returned home. Then, Horace Greeley's letter on Pike's Peak 
tempted him Westward again. He drove the first team from Canon City 
to South Park, 1862, and carried freight across the Plains, but finally came 
home to remain.

220 The Holmans in America 

ington August 18, 1907, to circle the globe. He traversed more than thirty 
thousand miles. He was warmly welcomed in the Eoyal households of three 
Empires. The Secretary, with his wife and son Charles, and party, were re- 
ceived with marked cordiality and friendliness. He left Seattle, Sept. 12th, on 
the Minnesota, arriving Sept. 27th in Yokohama. Committees of the Im- 
perial household and representatives of the Japanese Government came from 
Tokio to meet them. The harbor and streets were in full decoration. They 
went to Tokio with great pomp and the freedom of the Shiba Palace was given 
them, where the Mikado entertains only royal guests. Festivals, banquets and 
receptions were given to him on every hand. He reached Shanghai Oct. 8th. 
There he dedicated the new Y. M. C. A. building, and was entertained by dis- 
tinguished Chinamen. Hong Kong was reached Oct. 12th. Manila was 
reached Oct. 15th, where the reception was most enthusiastic. Mr. Taft 
opened the first National Assembly, which convened in the National Theater 
of Manila, where he delivered a message directly from President Eoosevelt. 
On Nov. 8th he left Manila in the converted cruiser Eainhoiv, led by the 
Galveston and the Chattanooga on the journey for Vladivostok, which was 
reached Nov. 17th. From there the long nine-thousand-mile ride over 
the Trans-Siberian Eailway under the direction of the Czar was commenced. 
Once on the way the train was nearly wrecked by a head-on collision, but Mr. 
Taft escaped uninjured. The train reached Moscow Nov. 31st. Visits 
were made to famous places, including the ancient Kremlin. Both govern- 
ment and people received the party most cordially. St. Petersburg, in Russia, 
was reached Dec. 3rd. He was escorted to the Duma, where he met many Rus- 
sian officials. He was received in audience by the Czar and entertained at the 
Czarskoc-Selo Palace. He left St. Petersburg Dec. 5th, and steamed from 
Hamburg on the President Grant, Dec. 7th. The entire trip was taken in 
behalf of the government on important diplomatic missions, wliieh resulted 
most satisfactorily for the peace of those nations concerned. 

The journey home was hastened on account of the failing health of Mr. 
Taft's mother, — a woman most gifted with intelligence and personal charm — 
distinguished in appearance and most aristocratic in bearing. She was well 
adapted to the customs of the best society of America and Europe and resided 
in the Courts of Austria and Russia while her husband was Minister to those 
countries. But the light of her beautiful countenance fled from the world 
and left only a memory to greet her distinguished son on his return home. 

Probably no candidate for the office of President of the United States 
has had wider experience and become better fitted to successfully carry on the 
work of the government than "William H. Taft. President Eoosevelt said of 
him, that he would cheerfully walk on his hands and knees from the White 
House to the Capitol that if by so doing he could see William Howard Taft 
inaugurated as President. Even his political opponent, Senator Foraker, 
said that no one could meet Taft and not love him as a man. 

During the last political campaign and election, when all adverse powers

of every description — the disgruntled politician — the different iconoclastic 
parties of various descriptions under attractive names — and every bad element 
in the country came forward to oppose the established conditions of govern- 
ment and exhausted their utmost powers to defeat the Eepublican National 
candidate, then all well disposed and right thinking men were aroused by the 
opponents' efforts, and rallied around their standard-bearer, until the Nation 
gave 321 electoral votes on Nov. 3rd, 1908, to place at the head of our country 
a splendid family representative of all that is best in American society, of 
ancestry, high education, scholarly attainment and ideal home life.

HOLMAN HERALDRY 

The accompanying illustration is the coat of arms of the Holman family. 
Baron John Holman, August 22, 1485, was standard bearer in the battle of 
Bosworth Field which terminated in the celebrated " War of the Roses " be- 
tween the rival houses of York and Lancaster, in which Eichard III. lost his 
crown and his life. The great-great-grandson of Baron Holman, Sir John 
{Richard*, William^, John-, John^), was living in Sutton, Devonshire, Eng., 
in 1623. 

Sutton, Mass., was settled by Edward, Thomas and Solomon, sons of the 
emigrant settler, Solaman Holman. But this Sutton probably had no relation 
to the Sutton, Eng. 

According to Burke's General Armory, the Holman family, of London, 
bore the following arms: 

Vert — A chev. or, between three pheons ar. 

Crest — On a chapeau gu, turned up em, an ostrich's head ar. No motto 
given. 

Those of Branbury, County Oxford, bore the same arms. 

Crest — A bow and arrow fesseways on the bow, all ar. No motto.
